I'm loving it. I was actually shocked to see how much I don't move durning the work day. I now make sure I get up and walk around every hour. I set a daily goal' date=' so I try really hard to hit it everyday (not that I do, but I aim for it). I think it's the best investment I made in a long time.[/quote']

that's good to hear. can't wait until mine arrives next week. I think the first day I'll just do what normally do to give me a base and then start setting goals to increase each day.

That is a great idea, especially with the studies that state sitting too much leads to a shorter life.

Check out the Striiv. I love it. The Striiv Play syncs to an iPhone. Very motivating.

I got myself one in December and I love it. I get updates on my phone via the fit bit app. If I have not reached my daily step goal it will say something like " you have 200 more steps to go!" I love getting the progress reports also via email. It gives you a snap shot of how you did that week. Ive tried the sleeping function and it works but I always forget to turn it on. Great Investment!

I just got the UP band by jawbone. I love it. It does it all and it's a nice stylish band. One friend thought it was a nice leather Bracelet. It soon will link up with my fitness pal. I like how it buzzes every 15 minutes I'm idle. Research them all and see what fits your life style.

Good luck :)

I have a fitbit and love it! It is small and I can clip it on my bra and don't even notice it, but because it is so small I have to be careful not to loose it. I have almost thrown it in the wash a time or two because I forgot to unclip it from my bra.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
